Apparently This Type of Woman Is Most Likely to Orgasm

Lesbians, pat yourselves on the back! Women who only have sex with other women are most likely to orgasm, according to new research in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. The study was limited to men and women who'd had sex within the past 12 months and identified as either straight, gay, or bisexual. Lesbian women reported having orgasms with a familiar partner 75 percent of the time, easily winning against straight women's rate of 62 percent (and bisexual ladies, who pulled off a finish during 58 percent of their encounters).

Men's sexual orientation didn't affect their likelihood of orgasming much: Straight men reported having orgasms 86 percent of the time, gay men reported 85 percent, and bisexual men rounded it out at 78 percent.

Notice that even at their lowest rates (bisexual men's 78 percent), men's probability of orgasm is better than women's highest odds (lesbians' 75 percent). Some guys have all the luck.

Researchers think one key reason behind this finding could be that "self-identified lesbian women are more comfortable and familiar with the female body and thus, on average, are better able to induce orgasm in their female partners."
